To all whom it may concern) A Be itknown that I, GEoRon D; MoInvoY, a citizen of the United Statesfresiding at Oklahoma city,in the'county of Oklahoma. and State of4 Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful` Improvements in Sanitary Closet-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. t p

The invention pertains to sanitaryclosets in which a movable receptacle is employed, an object being to provide improved means for supporting and moving the receptacle.

Another object is to provide proper ventilation for the cabinet. u

Other objects andadvantages of the invention will be set forth in theensuing description. y, y

Figure 1 of the drawings is a plan view of the improved cabinet.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation, but with a lid opened upward.

Fig, 3 is a plan view of the receptacle and its support.

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the support, with the receptacle removed.

Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 6 is an elevation view in the same direction as Fig. 5, showing the receptacle and its support in inverted position.

Fig. 7 is an elevation view of the receptacle and its support, taken in the direction of the arrow 7 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 8 is a fragmental perspective view showing` therside of the cabinet and a crank by which the support of the receptacle is revolved.

Like characters of reference designate like parts in all the figures.

The invention includes the wooden cabinet 10, which is composed of the two side walls 11, the front wall 12, rear wall 13, hopper bottom 14, and hinged top 15.

The hopper bottom 14 is preferably sheet metal, and the opening 17 which is usual in the tops of cabinets of this class is surrounded by the usual seat 18 Iwhich is secured permanently to said top.

rIhe rear end of the seat 18 is hinged to a supporting block 19 which is permanently secured to the rear portion 15b of the metal top 15, said rear portion 15b being permanently secured to the cabinet 10 whi e the front portion 15c is permanently secured to i `1Specfcation of Letters Patent. i i Patented Aug, 5,1919. Application fue@ March 14,1919. "serial No. 282,758.

saidseat and adapted to open upward therewith for access to the inner :parts of the cabinet.

The cabinet 10 is provided at its corners with supporting legs 20 which may rest on a floor 21 or other support. l

The parts thus described are well known in the art.

In carrying out the objects stated, a recep tacle 22 is provided and supported inside the cabinet 10 directly under the opening 17 O f the top 15, this receptacle being arranged so that it can be revolved land empty its contents onto the hopper bottom 14.

In arranging an improved support for the f1 receptacle 22 an embracing ring 23 is employed and provided with diametrically opposite pintles 24 and 25, these pintles being `journaled in the side Walls 11 of the cahinet 10.

In attaching each of the pintles 24 and 25 to the ring 23, a 'strap-metal clip 26 is riveted to the ring as best shown in Fig. 4, and the pintle is provided with a pair of jam nuts 27 which tightly clamp said clip.

The ring 23 is provided with a strap-metal hanger 28 in which the receptacle 22 rests, this hanger including a lower horizontal portion 29 with integral vertical end portions 30 whose upper ends are riveted to the ring as shown. y

In `order that the receptacle 22 shall not fall out'of the ring 23 when inverted to the position shown in Fig. 6, the lower ends of the vertical end portions 30 of the hanger 28 `are out-set, as at 31, so as to take a holding engagement with the bead 32 around the lower edge of the receptacle, the lower horizontal portion 29 of the hanger being formed with a loop 33 so that it may yield lengthwise and allow the receptacle to be forced down into place or removed.

In arranging to empty the receptacle 22, U

one of the pintles, 24, is provided with a crank 34 outside the cabinet 10, and if found necessary the nuts 27 of this pintle may be brazed or torch-welded to the clip 26.

A spring clip 35 is secured to the outer surface of the cabinet 10 above the pintle 24, and the crank 34 may be forced into this clip to hold the receptacle 22 in upright position.

A stop 36 may be secured to the side of the cabinet 10 to limit the crank 34 and recep' tacle 22 to a half revolution.

In use, the receptacle 22 may contain a limited quantity of some of the well known disinfecting and deodorizing solutions, and at suitable intervals said solution and the matter resulting from use of the cabinet may be dumped onto the hopper bottom 11i and led tov a .sewer or other place of disposal throughV` the connection 37.

For Ventilating purposes, a small inlet opening 38 is provided through the lower part of the rear wall 18 and an outlet opening 39 through the upper portion of said rear wall.

Air which enters the opening 38 may circulate around the receptacle 22 and out the opening 39, an upper rear compartment l0 being provided in the cabinet 10 as a convenient structural connection with the ventilating stack l1 which may lead to a iue or other suitable outlet in a building,

With the receptacle 22 filled with a small quantity of solution its center of gravit7 will be low and it will tend to rem-ain in upright position even without locking the crank 34.

After revolving the receptacle 22 and dumping its contents it may be given a few quick reciprocating movements by use of the crank 34: and thereby act as a fan in increasing the draft of air through the openings 38 `and 39 and up the stack 41.

The following is claimed An inclosing cabinet having an opening in its top, a support in the receptacle comprising a, ring having pintles journaled in the side walls of the cabinet, a hanger depending from the ring, said hanger comprising a bottom portion of strap metal formed with upstanding end portions whose upper ends are riveted to the ring, the lower ends of the upstanding portions of the hanger being outn set, a receptacle resting in the ring and hanger and having at its lower edge a bead engaging the outset portions of 4the hanger, the lower portion of the hanger being formed with ,an elastic loop to allow disengagement of the bead of the receptacle from the outset portions of the hanger.

Witness my hand this 24th day of February, 1919.
